Attack Jade (攻玉) - Chapter 1

[Chapter 1]

Du Tinglan looked out the window, it was not early in the morning, the red slave had gone for more than half an hour, how could he not see him back.

I don’t know if this lady saw Lu Zhaoan, the feast was about to open, and then dragged on, not to mention confronting Lu Zhaoan in person, even seeing him was delusional.

As soon as he thought of Lu Zhaoan, Du Tinglan felt sad in his heart, and he avoided seeing her for half a month, causing her to become ill, even if he wanted to renege on his oath, he always had to tell her in person.

Can’t wait any longer, she got up and quietly looked around, her mother watched a hundred plays in the Xiyuan Theater, most of the female relatives went to the garden to enjoy the flowers, there was no one around, it was a good time to leave the nunnery.

She bit her lip and was just about to put down the embroidery scissors in her hand when suddenly laughter came from under the porch.

“This year, the Ming Jingke has taken more than a hundred people, but there are only twenty people in the Jinshi section, and most of them are not young, most of them are married, the oldest one has heard that there are more than fifty, and the children under the knees are older than Awan.” There is a lady who is humane.

“It is.” Another lady laughed lightly, “I can’t imagine that the Wang family actually hit the old man’s head in order to pick a husband for their daughter.” “Actually, I don’t

blame the Wang family for being so attentive this year, you spent the first few days in Dongdu, and you didn’t know that this time the first person in jinshike was a prince in his early twenties, this person’s name was Lu Zhao’an, not only did he do a good job of poetry, but he was also born rich and handsome, and it was not only the Wang family who intended to marry, but also a number of famous princes and juqing were inquiring about this Lu Jinshi.”

Through the half-rolled beaded curtain, the three words “Lu Zhaoan” were extremely harsh, and Du Tinglan’s heart seemed to stir up a surging wave, and he forgot that he was still holding the embroidery scissors in his hand.

“But last night I heard Erlang of my family say that on the day of the publication of the list, Zheng Zhao’an of Shangshu Province heard that Lu Zhao’an was from Yangzhou, and had already called him to the front for questioning, and from the Lu family’s ancestors all the way to the three relatives and six deaths, there was a great intention to give his daughter Xu to him, and if Lu Gongzi Yangzhou was not yet married, Zheng Zhaozhao would most likely have to extend the media to propose to him.”

This remark was obviously very surprising, and another lady said: “Lu Gongzi became famous in one fell swoop, and the Xingyang Zheng clan is a century-old noble family, but it is a good fate to say, not only is the prime minister personally asking, how did Lu Gongzi return?”

“Lu Gongzi said that he was lost when he was a child, and in order to revive the court, he only studied hard day and night all these years, and he never got married.”

The blood on Du Tinglan’s face instantly faded, guessing was one thing, hearing it with his own ears was another thing, but after several months of work, this person actually wrote her off.

The oath of the sun is still in her ears, how much it made her heart flutter at the beginning, how ironic it is at this moment.

The beaded curtain rattled, and it seemed that someone was going to come in. Du Tinglanqiang supported his arm to get up, his palm suddenly burst into a burst of wet heat, and when he looked down, he found that a cut had been cut by the scissors, and the blood beads were gushing out, and the red was frighteningly red.

She looked at the vague red in despair, and now she only regretted why she had to go to Yangzhou City without permission, if there was no chance encounter in the peach blossom forest, how could there be today’s humiliation!

“!” The wound was held down by someone with a veil, And Du Tinglan looked up and saw the red slave looking at her in horror, just now she only hoped that this lady would bring the words to Lu Zhao’an, and now when she thought of the man, she was going to be sick.

Hongnu hurriedly inspected the wound, took out an object and whispered, “Lu Gongzi asked the slave to bring this to niangzi, saying that he wanted niangzi to go to the bamboo forest outside the Moon Lantern Pavilion to see him.”

Du Tinglan sneered, after snatching the caisheng to tear it up, but his fingers trembled, he tore it without tearing, but the wound on his palm burst open again.

***

Teng Yuyi lifted the curtain and stepped into the room, surprised: “Hey, my cousin is not here?”

Xiao Shamini was also taken aback, just now the noble girls went to the Xiyuan Theater to watch a hundred plays, the Du family’s little lady voluntarily stayed behind to cut the ribbon to win, there were still a few cut gold leaf on the case table, but the person was gone.

But this is also common, today is the Shangwei Festival, the people go out of the city to pray, they Jingfu Nunnery because it is adjacent to Qujiang Pond, early in the morning is also a car and horse Yingmen, the nunnery is so big, which can be taken care of everywhere.

“Poor Ni doesn’t know where Du Tan has crossed, but the hu people in front of him have begun to play a hundred plays, and the more Du Tan went to the theater, the more he didn’t know, Teng Tanyue, can you ask Poor Ni to lead the way for you?”

Xiao Shamini said looking at Teng Yuyi, wearing a power fence on his head, the jade wrist under the soap veil was dazzling, although he could not see his face clearly, but the delicate and charming pie was a beauty at a glance, and today the nunnery was like a cloud, such an outstanding can not be rare, I heard that with that Du Tanyue is a cousin of the two aunts, and I don’t know what is urgent, as soon as I enter the nunnery, I will come to find the Du family.

Only to hear Teng Yuyi laugh and say, “No need, my cousin doesn’t like to watch a hundred plays, maybe she can enjoy the flowers in the garden, Master please stay, I will go to look for her.” After

taking two steps, Teng Yuyi suddenly turned around and pointed to the case: “Master, these caisheng were cut by my cousin?”

Little Samini was stunned: “Yes.” “Just as I went

to look for my cousin, can little master let me take these caisheng away?”

It was a pastime, not to mention that it was not the gold leaf and jade pieces in the nunnery, and Xiao Shamini said busily: “Please poop.”

At this time, another little Charmini came over: “The saint wants to watch the big drunkard, tonight there is no curfew in Chang’an City, and the Moon Lantern Pavilion by the river is going to hold a banquet for the soldiers, and the abbot asks the nuns to look after the girls, and they are not allowed to go near the Moon Lantern Pavilion.”

Little Samini listened respectfully, no wonder that there were a lot of young lang jun with silver saddles and white horses at the entrance of the nunnery just now, and it turned out that they had come for the annual jinshi feast.

“The disciple knows.” Turning his head, he found that Teng Yuyi had already collected Caisheng and left.

Teng Yuyi walked while looking at the Moon Lantern Pavilion not far away, Zhu Yongbiwa was hidden in the thin twilight, and the glazed lamps with brilliant light were lit under the eaves.

In the past life, Du’s cousin died on the night of the Shangwei Festival, and the red slave was also poisoned, and he had been doing a good job with his aunt in the Jingfu Nunnery to worship the Buddha, but somehow he went out of the nunnery privately, and when he found them, a master and a servant were buried in the bamboo forest not far from the Moon Lantern Pavilion.

At the time of the accident, Teng Yuyi was in Yangzhou, and he also knew that his cousin died strangely.

The cousin has always been filial and steady, even if she does not like to be lively, she will serve beside her aunt, why did her aunt go to Xiyuan to watch hundreds of plays, and her cousin would stay in the secluded Cloud Hall.

These lottery wins are even more inexplicable, today is not “people’s day”, how did my cousin think of cutting this. If the cousin intends to arrange the opportunity to be alone, who is the ribbon cut to pass on the news to?

Teng Yuyi quickly turned over the gold leaf in his hand, turned over for a while and failed to find only a few words, but he did not feel surprised, although his cousin was weak in nature, he did things with fine needles, and his uncle and aunt in the past life had checked for so long, and they could not find out who the person who led her cousin to the outside of the nunnery was.

Thinking of the tragic situation when his cousin was strangled to death, Teng Yuyi looked up at the sky with hatred, the hour was not early, he wanted to go with his aunt to find his cousin, but he was afraid that it would be too late.

“Bi Luo, you and Qing Gui quickly went to find Aunt Xiyuan, I took Bai Zhi to the bamboo forest outside the nunnery, if my cousin and I did not return when my aunt came, let her old man take someone to the bamboo forest outside the MoonLight Pavilion to find us, remember to be fast.”

Bi Luo and Qing Gui responded, Teng Yuyi touched the prayer post in his sleeve, fortunately, he made all the preparations before coming.

The entrance to the nunnery was much more deserted than before, tourists all flocked to the next door Xiyuan to watch the performance, on the high stage, the Brahmin Hu was performing magic, the music turned, and the KangGuo Hu nun twisted her waist and danced a charming garnet dance.

The sound of golden stone silk bamboo entered the ear, Teng Yuyi sat on the small calf car and opened the window curtain to look out, this is the Shangwei Festival, not to mention the no curfew, the people of pingtou needless to say, even the wang and grandson nobles also came here for fun.

Walk along the water’s edge to the Moon Lantern Pavilion, where you can see richly dressed princes and beauties everywhere.

Teng Yuyi and BaiZhi You looked around and failed to find Du Tinglan in the crowd.

Halfway through, the calf car suddenly stopped, and a slave named Duanfu stopped in front of the car: “There are too many pedestrians here, the little man has asked a circle, and the only person who has seen the Du family lady is a vendor selling porridge, who said that Du Niangzi took the maid to the southeast direction of the riverbank.”

Teng Yuyi looked in the direction, it was the bamboo forest, she was busy saying to Duan Fu, “Follow behind the car.” It was

late, and accidents were often only in an instant, and the driver raised his whip to speed up the car.

It was the largest bamboo forest in Chang’an City, stretching for hundreds of meters before and after, and if a person was in it, it was very easy to get lost, so in the past life, the person quietly killed his cousin and the red slave in the forest, and then quietly left.

In the past life, when Teng Yuyi rushed to Chang’an, Du Tinglan had already entered the coffin, and when she wept and helped her aunt sort out the relics, she learned that her cousin was wearing a tulip dress on the day of the accident, which was her birthday gift to her cousin.

The skirt costs a lot of money, sewn by yangzhou embroidery lady with a needle and a thread, the color is like warm gold, the luxury is like clouds, even if it is prosperous like Chang’an, it is rare.

Today she came prepared, and the first thing she did when she arrived at Jingfu’an was to send Duanfu to look for her cousin outside, using the yujin skirt as a clue, and sure enough, she quickly found out the whereabouts of her cousin.

The bamboo forest is not far away, and the further you go, the fewer people there are.

***

Teng Yuyi calmly felt something out of his arms, and the maid Bai Zhi sighed worriedly.

On the way from Yangzhou to Chang’an a few days ago, the little lady accidentally fell into the water and fell seriously ill, and when she woke up, she began to play with this strange sword.

It was a small jade sword, all green, about a foot long, I don’t know where the lady got it, these days the old take it out to play, according to her look a little strange, the sword is the world’s strongest and toughest thing, how can you take jadeite as a sword?

Moreover, since the death of the lady, the little lady never fiddled with the weapons in the palace, as the daughter of a famous general, but she was more delicate than the Thousand Gold of the Confucian Official, and this time the lady went straight to the Jingfu Temple as soon as she got off the boat, and hid this small jade sword in her sleeve.

Bai Zhi played a small service to Teng Yuyi, knowing that the little master was sweet on the face, had a bad stomach in the back, and the family that interacted with the Teng Mansion on weekdays had suffered from the mother’s head in the open and in the dark.

The old man had no time to discipline his daughter for many years, and seeing that the mother’s temperament was becoming more and more cunning, he had no choice but to send the mother to Yangzhou Du Mansion, where she was supervised by her aunt Lady Du.

The Du family is clean and upright, Mrs. Du treats her like a flesh and blood, and Du Tinglan, the eldest daughter of the Du family, is even more important to her cousin everywhere.

In the past few years, the mother has long regarded her aunt and cousin as close relatives, but her temperament is far more awkward than ordinary people, and she refuses to say it on her lips, but when it comes to the people in this world, the people who the women care about most are Mrs. Du and the little lady of the Du family.

Bai Zhi couldn’t guess why his master was so anxious, but from the floating color in Teng Yuyi’s eyes, he could see that if he couldn’t find Du Tinglan again, Teng Yuyi would definitely make unexpected and surprising moves.

Bai Zhi looked out the window and froze: “Lady, you see.”

Teng Yuyi put the jade sword in his sleeve, and at the entrance of the bamboo forest, a calf cart with gold and jade was parked.

It seems that not long after arriving, the servants were busy looking at the curtain on the outskirts of the bamboo forest, and looking at this extremely rich and noble pomp, I am afraid that they are not ordinary gongqing nobles.

Bai Zhi’s face was hesitant, but Teng Yuyi took care of himself and put on the power fence and got out of the car, treating those servants as if they were nothing, and went straight to the bamboo forest.

The servant saw Teng Yuyi and immediately stepped forward to stop him: “Little lady, please stay.”

Teng Yuyi smiled and asked, “This is not a forbidden garden, why don’t you let it pass?” The

servant said, “My husband is going to go to the riverside to strike a curtain, so he has set up a curtain tent here, and when he leaves the forest, he will naturally let him go.”

Bai Zhi’s face changed slightly, this word was extremely domineering, a large bamboo forest, saying that if you don’t let in, you won’t let you in.

Teng Yuyi was calm, nodded his head and smiled, “Coincidentally, I also want to cut a short way to the riverside for a banquet.” The

servants looked at each other, their faces showed a look of surprise, there was more than one feast on the riverbank, and the people who attended the banquet were all high-ranking officials and nobles, and this woman was light and obedient, and she could not see the origin.

“If it’s a banquet, there must be a post.”

“Post?”

At this time, a middle-aged servant woman who served the scarf in front of the calf said: “Tonight, in addition to the banquet, Your Majesty will also be in the Ziyun Building to watch the big feast, there are many princes and grandchildren accompanying them, and the news has spread out, attracting many foolish little ladies.” Teng Yu looked

at the past, and his heart was really wronged in his past life, and he actually met the two masters and servants here.

The servant woman was also looking at Teng Yuyi, wearing a hedge on her head and unable to see her appearance clearly, but the servant woman was very sure in her heart, she had never seen this figure in Chang’an before, and she said that she wanted to cut a short road to the riverside, but she couldn’t even take out the post, she didn’t want to say anything serious about her identity, but how many such women didn’t know how important they were along the way.

The woman’s face added a slight color, and she said to the servants, “Most of them came to your son again.” This little lady, the old body advises you, his son is not good, go early, save yourself from being bored.

These words directly hit Teng Yuyi into the like of The Nobles of The High Knot, Bai Zhi’s face turned red, this person clearly couldn’t afford to provoke the one in the forest to wait here, he should have spoken in unison, but turned around to find their trouble.

“Really?” Teng Yuyi sneered, “If I want to go in.”

She took something out of her sleeve and said to the servants who were blocking the way, “The hour is not early, please make it convenient for your master.” The

faces of the people changed slightly, it was a piece of prayer commonly used in the junwang palace, the upper paragraph was the Huainan Jiedushi envoy and Yangzhou thorn Shi Tengshao, and the lower paragraph was the autograph of the Chun’an Junwang.

They always deal with the King of Chun’an On weekdays, and the handwriting of the King of the County can be recognized at a glance.

King Chun’an is the cousin of the current emperor of the dynasty. Teng Shao, the envoy of the Huainan Festival, was a famous general with great prestige. I heard that many years ago, when the King of Chun’an County went down to Lishan with His Majesty to stay at Lishan, he accidentally encountered a danger and was saved by Teng Shao.

These two figures are the predecessors of their own Xiao Langjun, and even if Xiao Langjun sees it, he must give a gift.

The servants did not dare to stop her again, but still kept the woman and the calf cart behind her out of the forest.

The middle-aged servant woman half-opened her mouth, overheard someone in the calf car coughing sternly, and the voice was a very young young lady.

The woman turned back to God and hurriedly changed into a respectful smile to make amends to Teng Yuyi.

Teng Yuyi glanced at her, took Duan Fu and Bai Zhi to the forest, and said to the old coachman as he walked: “You are waiting for news here, if your aunt comes, immediately take them to the forest to find us.” The

author has something to say: the heroine is a pseudo-rebirth, and will be relieved in the later stage.
